Fantastic Fibers 2014

Fantastic Fibers 2014 is an international competitive fiber art exhibition hosted by the The Yeiser Art Center in Paducah, Kentucky, April 5-May 24, 2014. It’s a showcase of a wide range of outstanding works related to the fiber medium. All forms of fiber art are welcome.

This is a juried competition. The 2014 Fantastic Fibers juror will be Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry, who is internationally recognized for her award-winning fine art quilts. “It is my pleasure to select the work for Fantastic Fibers 2014. I have been involved with the Yeiser Art Center’s annual fiber shows since 1988, either as a juror or an entrant.” said Fallert-Gentry. “Even before I moved to Paducah, Fantastic Fibers was one of the highlights of QuiltWeek®. It continues to be a world class, international showcase for cutting-edge fiber art, year after year, and I look forward to reviewing the entries in the 2014 show.”

Cash prizes totaling a minimum of $1,750 will be awarded. The entry deadline for the exhibition/contest is January 25, 2014. Use the Fantastic Fibers 2014 website to enter this AQS-sanctioned event. Accepted artists will be notified by February 15, 2014, and accepted entries will be due March 29, 2014. In 2013, the Fantastic Fibers competition received nearly 800 entries from 128 artists in 12 counties.

A little bit about the rules: Entries must be submitted electronically through the Fantastic Fibers 2014 website. If one or more of your entries should be accepted into the show you will receive subsequent instructions on final presentation. No more than five entries may be submitted by any artist. All work submitted must be original, completed in the last three years and not previously exhibited in a Fantastic Fibers exhibition. There are no size restrictions. You’ll find detailed rules HERE.
